Garner and Affleck, who got married in 2005, have three children - daughters Violet, 8, and Seraphina, 5, and son Samuel, 2.
The actress, 42, says the birth of her children changed her priorities but her husband keeps telling her that she should work as it is a part of who she is, reported Elle magazine.
"My ambition shifted when I had kids in a way that I didn't anticipate. I became more ambitious for my life as a whole, and for that kind of health and happiness of the overall family unit. And that very much includes my husband and very much includes me," Garner told the magazine.
Affleck is currently garnering praise for his role of an out of work journalist whose wife disappears on their fifth anniversary, leaving him as the prime suspect.
While Garner stars in 'Men, Women & Children'.
